Score 1 for the Constitution

Today the Supreme Court decided that foreign terrorism suspects held at Gitmo have Constitutional rights.

As per the AP article, the decision was best summed up by Justice Kennedy, who wrote "The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times."

We still have a long way to go to roll back the abuses from the past 7 years, but this is a very encouraging sign that maybe we're starting to step out from the Dark Ages and might someday rejoin the civilized world.
